So here's my query: there isn't much I don't like about my nook simple touch. I could do without the B&N marketing on the Home screen but really it is fine the way it is.

But what I really want is to connect to my home server via wifi and download from my calibre library. I'm guessing rooting it is the only way to do that and I don't know if even that will work. Supposing it did though, what would I lose in terms of existing functionality/readability by not using the native B&N firmware? I couldn't care less about being able to connect to the B&N server. But most other things I want to keep.

Would the fonts work the same? The resizing? the search features? The dictionary? Note taking?

Inquiring minds...yada.
